Sun Siyam Resorts has announced the promotion of Abdulla Thamheed to the position of Vice President – Operations, effective immediately.

 

Thamheed will lead operational excellence across all Sun Siyam properties, applying his deep expertise and leadership to streamline processes, elevate guest experiences, and support the brand’s growth strategy.

 

Thamheed’s remarkable career spans over 27 years. Born and raised in the Maldives, he began his journey in hospitality as a young waiter at the age of 15 in 1996.

 

He joined Sun Siyam Resorts in 2003 as a Food and Beverage Coordinator, steadily advancing through the ranks over the past two decades.

 

His career is a testament to his dedication to the brand’s values and vision; after overseeing operations as General Manager of Siyam World and Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, he was appointed Group General Manager in 2013, overseeing all six Sun Siyam resorts in the Maldives and Sri Lanka.

 

Notably, he played a key role in the opening of Siyam World in 2021.

 

Now, as he steps into the role of Vice President, he brings the same passion and commitment that have defined his tenure.
